GetMaxNodeToElements

Retrieves the maximum number of elements connected to any node in the mesh.

Interface

MODULE FUNCTION GetMaxNodeToElements(obj) RESULT(ans)
  CLASS(AbstractMesh_), INTENT(INOUT) :: obj
  INTEGER(I4B) :: ans
END FUNCTION GetMaxNodeToElements

Arguments

• obj (AbstractMesh_, input/output): The mesh object. May be modified if node-to-elements mapping needs to be initiated.

Returns

• ans (INTEGER): The maximum number of elements connected to any node in the mesh.

Description

This function returns the maximum number of elements connected to any node in the mesh. If the node-to-elements mapping has not been initiated, it will be initiated first.

This information is useful for pre-allocating arrays when working with node-to-element relationships.

Example

INTEGER(I4B) :: maxElements
maxElements = mesh%GetMaxNodeToElements()
! Now maxElements contains the maximum number of elements connected to any node
